Species-Specific Recognition of <italic toggle="yes">Sulfolobales</italic> Mediated by UV-Inducible Pili and S-Layer Glycosylation Patterns

ABSTRACT The UV-inducible pili system of Sulfolobales (Ups) mediates the formation of species-specific cellular aggregates. Within these aggregates, cells exchange DNA to repair DNA double-strand breaks via homologous recombination. Substitution of the Sulfolobus acidocaldarius pilin subunits UpsA a...
